Traveler Buena Park, CA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #7 May 17, 2009 By the way, Grace, the city shown with a writer's comments never is the correct one. My daughter lives in Del Mar and felt it, so much for distance from the epicenter that is was felt.
Rick Lomita, CA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #8 May 17, 2009 That one had a good jolt to it. Second one this month I felt. Hope it isnt a precursor. a few bottles fell off my bookcase but nothing damaged or broken thank God.

junior Bothell, WA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #10 May 17, 2009 5.0? What? it felt like a 11.3.(exaggerated of course) but definitely thought it was a lot higher than what it was recorded
Rick Jacksonville, FL	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #11 May 17, 2009 Haha Grace, I fell victim to the wrong city too. At least yours in the same general area. I live in Lomita not San Fran.

I live in Lomita not San Fran. Guess what Rick, now you have moved to Florida! Probably to get away from the scary quakes.
Pedro Girl Rancho Palos Verdes, CA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #13 May 17, 2009 It started out as a light roll...with just enough time to think it's an earthquake, then a few good jolts to remind you that we live in earthquake country! A good reminder that we have to be prepared and give thanks for our loved ones.
Sooz Redondo Beach, CA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #14 May 17, 2009 I thought the same thing, Junior. I felt sure it was at least a 7.0. It felt more like an explosion than a quake.
resident Hermosa Beach, CA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #15 May 17, 2009 Judged: 1 It was crazy here in Hermosa...like a truck hit my house!
Hummus House_ Hawthorne Hermosa Beach, CA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #16 May 17, 2009 Lots of shake at the Hummus House Restaurant in Hawthorne. Strong Building. No broken china. Just little bit scary. Customers calmed down and continued meals. The phone stopped working for 10 minutes and then came back on line.
skatermom Atlanta, GA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #17 May 17, 2009 very strong in Torrance. We had items fall of shelves and walls, thankfully everyone is safe. I am very shaken up (pardon the pun!)!

Daily Horoscope for May 22

Virgo

Keep a pinch of salt handy today because not everything you hear will be the gospel truth. Someone might have manipulated the facts to make them sound more acceptable, or they may have got carried away and forgotten to tell you something rather vital. Try to keep misunderstandings to a minimum by being as straightforward and honest as possible, and by not simply assuming that people know what you're talking about and therefore not bothering to explain properly.
